Guang River was like a slender jade belt, adorning the eastern region of Central Continent.
The waters of Guang River always flowed so gently, like a beautiful long song with a melodious, winding tune.
Ying Wu Xie stood on the embankment of Guang River, waiting for Feng Chan Zi to arrive.
Hei Lou Lan, Stone Slave, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and the others hid nearby, guarding Ying Wu Xie.
The river water gurgled onward. One or two dragonflies hovered above its surface from time to time, then settled upon the tips of Gu Grass.
Many Gu Grass grew within Guang River.
This grass rooted itself in the muddy riverbed, drawing nourishment from it. Its stalks were long and resilient, supporting the grass tips as they emerged from the water.
At the tip of each Gu Grass grew a brownish fruit.
These fruits were only fist-sized at present and had yet to ripen. They were hollow and not tightly sealed, with wide-open mouths at the top.
Just then, a dragonfly followed the fragrance within a fruit and recklessly flew inside.
After struggling a few times, it was dazed by the thick fragrance and could no longer fly back out.
Ying Wu Xie silently watched this scene.
He knew that in a few more months, as the fruits grew larger and larger, they would attract more flying insects, water bugs, even small fish and shrimp. As they developed, the openings of the fruits would gradually close. Once fully mature, the tips of the Gu Grass would seem to be hanging brown earthen jars, completely sealed shut.
Then Guang River would welcome its annual flood season.
During the flood season, Guang River cast off its gentle appearance. Its waters surged fiercely and rushed swiftly, washing over countless Gu Grass growing in the river.
